²⁶ My son, ·pay attention [^Lgive your heart] to me,
    and ·watch closely what I do [let your eyes watch/or delight in my path].
²⁷ A prostitute is as dangerous as a deep pit,
    and an ·unfaithful wife [^Lforeign woman] is like a narrow well.
²⁸ They ambush you like robbers
    and cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.
